Kind of a stupid question maybe, but what exactly does this new update released the day after another one fix/do? Thanks a lot OP!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xeonbuilder:
IS there anyway to update the EG31 modem to something newer? If so which modem?

Thanks..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Consult the wiki page. Has all the modems in order of release. Download the CWM file and flash in recovery.

hey PH if i flash calks -75 or -100 undervolt for the kernel that comes with this rom would that overwrite any battery mods/scripts you may have included?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
I have a microSD. Did all my installing from there too.

Does the tsm mod work for this? I noticed it in the pics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
Yes I have a 16gb card. This is how I upgraded my phone.

I was on 3.7 and the stock kernel

1. downloaded the 3.8 rom and placed it on the sdcard

2. downloaded the Rouge Hitman kernel

3. downloaded Modified_Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT_NODATA

4. rebooted in recovery

5. first thing I did is run the Modified_Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT_NODATA zip

6. Flashed 3.8 rom

7. Restarted the phone.

8. After about 5 minutes my phone started up with the Market crashing. No big deal. I played around in the phone for about 5 minutes then I restarted in recovery.

9. I flashed the Rouge Hitman Kernel and restarted.

10. Phone runs perfect not one issue. No crazy looking icons or anything of that nature. I then went ahead and flashed the 5 drawer app.

Battery life to be determined. :)

Best thing to do is start over.

1. Stock Kernel

2. Wipe everything

3. upgrade to 3.7 and then follow my steps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bravo1565:
How were you able to get the 5 drawer app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] techargon:
Everything worked great for me, but for some reason everything in the market is not compatible with my device even though they are still installed and working, any solutions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Exactly what I did minus the crashing and 5 drawer app. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxnoop:
I know this is a noob question and all, but what exactly does the rogue hitman kernal do? I've personally stuck with stock kernals for the most part. I saw some people saying it has better battery life and cwm touch recovery. Are those the main differences?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I'm on v3.7 and want to start fresh.

Wiping everything, flashing v3.7, reboot, wipe cache + dalvik, flashing v3.8.

Question: Beside the touch recovery, what else is the benefit of hitman?

If touch is the only biggy, I can just stick with my current recovery no problem right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
1. Blazer Modifications

2. Calkulin's 5 column launcher with continuous scroll + auto-hiding page indicator

3. reboot into recovery and flash the zip. restart the phone and enjoy ;)

The touch feature is really cool. I am going to test and see if it improves the battery.

Hitman has touch recovery and allows undervolting via setcpu.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Pretty much battery life and touch. Those are the only differences I've noticed from 1.4. Don't they list the perks on the Hitman thread?

EDIT:

(From Hitman thread)

-Based on 2.6.35.14

-CPU overclocking/voltage control

-GPU clock control

-init.d support

-Support for Voodoo LOUDER

-Fix LoS patches (Big thanks to chris41g!)

Network issue

Guys, Iv'e been experiencing excessive amount of Roaming. I was on the EL29 Modem then switched to the EL13 Modem and its the same thing. I did do a complete fresh install of 3.7 then installed 3.8. Any ideas??

EDIT: I can connect to 4G but have no 3G... nothing...in my own house!! WTF!!.. <---- sorry
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Will under/overclock work via setcpu as well with this kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
Yes it will
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
By "wipe everything" do you mean Wipe data (factory reset) and that's all? I'm on a stock kernel and ROM, now. When I tried to flash PH's update I get stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S II screen over my Blazer 3.7 :( Had to ODIN back to a stock ROM&Kernel. And yes, I checked if the MD5 sums matched. It wasn't a bad download. Idk what's going on :/ I'll just wipe everything and hopefully that'll help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
Ok, almost there. Wiped everything including factory reset. Flashed v3.7, rebooted, recover wiped cache & dalvik, flashed v3.8. rebooted, recovery ... now do I wipe cache & dalvik before flashing rogue 1.5 or no wipe just flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AzumaK:
The rogue kernel install script starts off with cache and dalvik wipe, so it's not necessary. Good luck!

I had an super easy time installing 3.8 and Hitman. Coming from latest Calkulin's, I did the modified no data wipe zip, flashed Blazer 3.8, paranoid no data wipe, Hitman kernel, -75 undervolt, GPS driver fix, circle battery, reboot.

Everything has been butterzone, including faster power button wake, instant re-orientation, and 1200/500 ondemand with 1.5 hours of screen on has me at 70 percent after 12 hours. That's very impressive, but also the first charge cycle... loving this rom so far, the only problem I've had is LCD density at 170 or lower causes the status bar to have this trippy 'pixels never go black' effect. No big deal, 180 is still comfortable.

Edit: added a screenshot to illustrate what I'm talking about, it looks kinda cool, and it refreshes when orientation switches. Only happens at LCD density 170 or lower. I used 160 to get some apps like IMDB to install but generally isn't a problem. 180 fixes this but some apps won't install. Like I said before this rom is amazing and this is hardly an inconvenience! It's literally the only problem I can find.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
So how do I flash the newest version since I have the Whitman kernal installed ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
Request Phantomhacker:

I know kies has been removed and I've flashed it. But, I am wondering if on the next update it could be included because (1) flashing separately it gives me "logsprovider has stoped unexpectedly (2) when I get calls from friends contacts synced to Facebook, their status updated does not appear...

Although it's not a big deal it's cool to have kies working properly and flashing separately seems to give problems.

Also, I really like how you've themed google search but there is an updated version on the market which loses theme as soon as updated (just fyi)...

thanks for this great ROM :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kslice917:
Alright, I'm a little lost here. As far as I know, I never installed the Rouge Hitman kernel. Was it installed as the stock kernel in 3.7? When I boot into recovery, the Team Rouge recovery comes up.

Anyway, assuming that was the problem, here is what I did next:

Installed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 (from ROM Manager)

Boot into recovery mode

Flash modded format all

Flash 3.8 Update

Reboot

Now I'm stuck at the boot screen. I've waited for about 10 minutes, hoping that maybe it's just a really slow first-boot, but still nothing. I've already gone back into CWM and restored 3.7 with no problem. But can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I'd really like to not have to wipe all my data from 3.7, if at all possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShiftyBob:
Seeing as "Rogue" is the same as "Hitman" it would have been nice if somebody would have mentioned that!!!

AFTER I finally figured that out... I installed CWM recovery (AND got the triangle of death back). I did the NO DATA wipe, then installed the update. Guess what? Still stuck on the stupid boot screen, AGAIN!!!

What am I doing wrong?!!

So, let me make sure I understand this correctly... 3.7 comes with Rogue "Hitman" recovery. BUT, in order to upgrade to 3.8, you have to flash a different recovery because the the update doesn't work with previously packaged recovery? SO where does one find a diffferent recovery? Does that include a different kernel? which recoveries will work? Do i have to flash a kernel as well? Do the kernels and recoveries go hand in hand?

This really shouldn't be this difficult...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
I've been running this ROM for around 15 hours now and it works perfectly. The battery life isn't as good as people were commenting though - I notice no difference from back when I had 3.7. I'm going to recalibrate my battery and see what happens though. Also, I just noticed that Blazer came with Rogue 1.4.1 - is it worth updating to Hitman?

Edit: Do you think you can make a mod that allows for 5 apps on the dock? I don't want to download a launcher just for 1 thing so it would be cool if this was possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Quocstazz:
It has been proven that calibrating your battery on gs2 wouldn't do anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Neomorpheos:
you can download the 5 icon launcher mod from

http://www.phantomroms.com/mods.html

just push it through root explorer into the system/app folder

hitman is a touch recovery and allows undervolting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Ohhh, I flashed it before to get the 5x5 drawer. So if I use the Root Explorer app and push it through, it will give me the option to have 5 apps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Neomorpheos:
looks like he took the apk off the mods page

go here for the 5 icon twlauncher

http://www.mediafire.com/?gfw995g8anyun19

push this apk into the system/app folder through root explorer

(copy/save the original first)

reboot phone

go to settings- manage apps- all-

find twlauncher clear data

you should relaunch with 5 icons

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoctMonster:
Quick Update: I had the same problem everyone is having about the phone not passing the boot logo, heres a fix....

Get blazer 3.7

reboot recovery

wipe dalvik and cache

use modified format all calkulin (no data)

install blazer 3.7

reboot and it should work

get blazer 3.8

reboot recovery again

wipe dalvik and cache

modified format all calkulin (no data)

install blazer 3.8

reboot

this is what worked for me, i did the same steps without wiping dalvik and cache and it didnt wotk, so wiping is a must
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
Fresh Install for me and it works great!

1. Recovery

2. Wiped cache, Dalvic, factory reset

3. Flashed Format all zip (not modified)

4. Installed v3.7

5. Reboot back into recovery

6. Wipe Cache, Dalvic

7. Install v3.8

8. Reboot into recovery (additional steps 9+ optional)

9. Wipe Cache, Dalvic

10. Install Gunslinger 1.4.1

11. Reboot

And it's smooth as butter... Didn't flash Hitman because (1) everyone reporting problems (2) If I can't flash v3.8 using Hitman are there bugs I won't be able to flash other Roms if I wanted to? A bit uncertainty and willing to wait until we see more unfold...

My copy of 3.7 is bad all of a sudden (checked out caulks rom for a couple days then decided to come back) Does anyone have a link to it, as I can't find it on his site.

It's on his site. Just go to downloads, select 3.8 and it will bring you to a page where you can download 3.7 or 3.8

Okay so the first night on 3.8 with hitman kernel. Battery sucks. I went from 99% to 88% in 7 hours. My wife's stock non rooted phone went down only 4%. I'm only going to give this a try a couple more days and will report back. Battery for me is very important.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
No.....its been proving that deleting the BATTERY.BIN STATS has no affect on the battery. Calibrating the battery works...just depends on how you do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
I'd say that's pretty good at 1.5% per hour. You can't really compare your phone with hers though unless you have the same apps and syncing setup. Or to make it as fair as possible turn off background data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
I wish I got that great of battery life. On average I lose about 10% an hr, less if I dont do anything with my phone.

My normal phone usage is listening to Podcasts all day and playing the occasional Words and Hanging with Friends. Both of these will suck the life out of my phone very quickly. I use Google Listen for my Podcast, and altho I dont have any hard proof, something tells me Listen is doing something that causes the Battery to drop so rapidly. I wish Google would put some effort into improving that and reader.

So, long story short, Kudos to you and your excellent Battery performance ;) not all of us are that lucky.

Keep up the great work Phantom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j_shelton1988:
I wish mine was that good. I'm a heavy user, so my battery drains quick. I'd say once the kernel settles in you should see a difference in battery life

Ok so after my first meeting this morning. No email, text or calls my battery is down to 79% it went from 88% to 79% without doing anything on the phone. Hmmmm I think I am going to go back to Stock and Unroot my phone. I don't want to unvolt my phone and make it slower just so I can get the same battery life that I get when I'm, stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
You should really check what is doing sync in the background and how often.. Also check for apps that may be running in the background.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
I did :( the only thing that is Syncing is Google. Gmail, Contacts and Calendar nothing else. The same setup as I have now got me 36 hours before I went to 3.7 and now to 3.8
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j_shelton1988:
Maybe try a different kernel? I've had pretty good life with gunslinger and rogue el29. How often is your Google syncing? That could be another factor

I was getting it stuck at the boot screen.. I fixed it first installing 3.7 boot and on top (without a wipe) flash 3.8 and no more problems. No better performance yet because I just installed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shift Sunny:
So 3.8 can be installed with out having any previous versions of blazer? And hitman can be flashed after 3.8?

Rogue does not necessarily mean it is "Hitman".

Hitman is the name of the kernel not the recovery.

Rogue is referring to Team Rogue who developed the kernel.

The recovery baked into Hitman is CWM touch.

3.7 did not come with Hitman.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Phantom, been running 3.8 for a day and it is great. I still have a delay though with the auto brightness. If the phone is in my pocket, it takes about 30 second for the screen to brighten up so I can see it. I had to install lux auto bright for now which sucks to have an extra program running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jesmer:
or you can turn auto brightness off ......

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
i would not recommend downloading Roms and flashing from phone only. I have done it myself, yes, but I find I have many more headaches with bad downloads/bad flashes when I download from my phone, and not a computer and then transfer. If you are going to do it, I suggest downloading it twice if you have the space. helps in case one goes awry upon flashing.

Also, if you are going to do it from phone, try Dolphin browser, or Opera, or an alternative to main browser, they tend to have better download success on large files. sometimes the stock browser just won't download the files and say "download unsuccessful" immediately
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
im so amazed by this rom that i had to log in and say this is a breath of fresh air, I really like the theme and smoothness it has to offer .. lol this could of been epic rom out of the box..that how excellent it is.. Good job phantom

Also, responding above, it certainly is not just the stock browser, downloading to the phone for such a large and important file is hit or miss. success rates vary, but a worthy suggestion to download to computer first as a first option

Is battery better on odex or deodexed version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
So I've found with the odexed rom, no matter what I do, that if launcher pro is my default launcher, and I reboot, I get stuck at bootanimation screen. Tried a few times now with separate rom flashes(and separate lp downloads).Go launcher works but sucks my battery twice as fast as LP. Too bad cus the odex is SMOOTH!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
YES!!!! Least Im not the only one! I too am getting these random reboots. I can be using the phone and then it will do like a fast hot reboot where screen goes black and comes back slowly reloading my launcher and apps.

I had this problem on almost EVERY custom rom so far. It didnt happen on the older Starburst rom but it happens on Calks rom and the Senzation rom and now this one.

Makes me think all the custom roms are built from same rom just slightly tweaked and theme and then they call it there on rom. Every rom seems to have the same exact bugs.

Kinda miss the HTC Evo 3D community because there roms didnt have all these small problems.

I tried different kernals but just cant seem to stop or fix the random hot reboots. Frustrating to pull your phone out your pocket to see it at the Sam Galaxy S screen as if its just booting up.

Like the other day for example I was trying to download something in the browser that was about 150mb every time the download got to tlike 70% or 90 % or near finish the whole phone will reboot real fast and all apps will be closed

Any input on this is appreciated! This is starting to get very frustrating.

And to recap, I dont use any undervolting or overclocking. I leave everything as is when the rom is installed and I do wipe when flashing roms.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
I use the standard Galaxy S II lock screen on each of the roms and same hot reboot problem.

Im starting to think each rom is just based off the same base. So which also means every rom will have the same problems just different UI or theme.
